First thing that I feel people need to know is that the online download for this game is a wonderful option. First off you can download it instantly and for game downloads Amazon says the following: "You can install [a game] an unlimited number of times for personal use, however additional copies of the game for friends or family must be purchased separately." So there is no real reason to own the disks. Your game remains in your amazon account forever and you can access it from any computer you want. Also the two expansion packs are downloaded instantly and pre-incorporated into the game so that saves some headaches if you aren't very good with computers.
Secondly, I have a windows 7 computer and it works wonderfully on my machine, although I know many people have been having problems running it on a similar system. But as I decided even if it wouldn't work on my computer I could still install it on other computers I use for free and play it on them so I figured I'd be fine.
Now about the game: I used to own Roller Coaster Tycoon Two and played it all the time. I am a college student and purchased this game because I was getting sick of all the first person shooter games played on campus. This game is a wonderful substitute and the graphics are ahead of it's time (that being 2005). You can pan around the screen very easily and change your angle at anytime. You can zoom in so close to people that they take up the whole screen and the graphics remain intact. The Soaked expansion pack is so fun, you can build pools at different levels and connect them with pool-walks and you have tons of options for water slides and the sort.
Ultimately this is an amazing game that is well worth the money and I feel that almost any age can understand it and enjoy it with little ease!
Bought the CD/DISC version which you can download onto your computer. If using a laptop, just double check it has a DVD/CD port (rookie mistake). Not sure how the STEAM version fares, but the disc physical copy works for me, can download across multiple devices and just need the CD inserted to play.
Many gaming options, many tasks to accomplish and goals to meet. Completely customizable- can decorate enclosures and customize viewing area sizes. Animals can have babies as well! Fun for HOURS. Similar to the original rollercoaster tycoons, but different style of graphics.
Completely recommend!
Whlie some of my custom coasters wouldn't import due to using boosts, the simple ability and joy to rebuild a coaster and watch it in first person / 3D is reason enough to be happy with the purchase. Sure the game is a little cartoony, but it does remind me of The Sims and while not insanely up-to-date in terms of graphics, it certainly gets the job done.
You can load custom music stil for your rides by putting MP3 or WMA files in C:\Users\(Username)\My Documents\RCT3\Music Likewise, any custom coasters you save are in the RCT3\Coasters directory. So far after playing a few scenarios, the game has proven to be fun and a great throwback to the old days of playing RCT 1. Very happy.
